Thirty greenhouses, twenty types of vegetables.
An Guoming asked in confusion:
"How come there are twenty kinds?"
"Well, peppers alone account for several kinds. So, some share the same main category but are different sub-varieties."
"Long hot peppers, bell peppers, red chilies, string peppers—"
An Guoming stopped An Ning, showing that he understood.
After that, An Ning gave An Guoming a tour of every single greenhouse.
In the north, where only the first hints of spring had appeared, An Guoming got to experience a scene that was practically bursting with life.
There were all sorts of lush, green leafy vegetables; bright red and sunny yellow tomatoes; glossy purple eggplants; crisp green peppers; and prickly little cucumbers, still with their blossoms attached, as well as zucchini and more.
With every new vegetable he saw, An Guoming's eyes lit up a little more. By the time he walked out of the last one, he was practically buzzing with excitement.
